Abstract

Cooperative robotics is very different from working on a single robot before. Cooperative robots can perform tasks that were previously impossible with a single robot. This robot research can be applied in computer science, artificial intelligence, and electrical engineering. This research aims to deal with tasks that are difficult or impossible to perform with a single robot. For this purpose, we propose a Se-Re (Search-and-Rescue) algorithm. In addition, the proposed algorithm is designed to allow multiple robots to collaborate in the area of work. Robots use wireless communication to collaborate and are organized in groups, which create environmental maps and share data with each other. The robot uses the shared area map to create a global map. Using this information, the robot does not revisit the previously visited area. The proposed algorithm can be applied both indoors and outdoors. Indoors can be used in general buildings as well as livestock housing, and outdoors can be used for landmine removal, human search, and rescue.

Summary

Introduction

In the United States in 2001, a 911 attacks occurred, causing a number of casualties. Mobile robots were first used to search for lives in the remains of buildings [1]. The autonomous mobile robots used in the search were not practical. Rescue workers helped find more than 2% of the victims. This robot is sent in a small gap that a person cannot move and uses sensors such as cameras to examine the buried room. The measured information is sent to the rescue worker and used in the rescue. This is an epoch-making event in the robot-based rescue field, more research and development are urgently needed. Autonomous and collaborative robots are research projects that must be overcome by robot researchers all over the world [2]
